MORE than £3,500 has been raised to give a father-of-four a fitting send off.
Lee Jamieson, known as Biggie, died on January 29 at his home in Haddington.
His niece Alanna Neil has set up an online gofundme page, which has attracted thousands of pounds of donations within a week.
It reads: “Let's give Lee the send off he so deserves.
“Myself (Lee's niece) is hoping to raise enough funds to take the pressure off family at such a sad and difficult time.
“An amazing guy loved by so many.
“Yvonne and Lee’s four young teenage girls would be eternally grateful for any help from family and friends at such a heart-breaking time.
“All money raised will go towards funeral costs.”
Tributes were paid on the fundraising page to the 35-year-old.
Sarah McCulloch wrote: "I’m so sorry for your loss Yvonne and girls."
Meanwhile, Laura Scott wrote: "Sending you all my love such heart-breaking news."
